Often the importance of a sitemap is over looked. A sitemap is more than a page on your website where visitors can browse your site, the sitemap is a well designed navigational map for search engines.

The reason a sitemap is so important to your website is search engine spiders. When a spider searches your site and finds your sitemap, it will index all your pages. Now when someone searches a topic that your website specializes in, the seach engine can display your web pages in the search results. This should lead to more visitors and increased sales or services.
